Seventh Bowl: The Earth Utterly Shaken

17 Then the seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, a“It is done!”  
18 And athere were noises and thunderings and lightnings; band there was a great earthquake, such a mighty and great earthquake cas had not occurred since men were on the earth.  
19 Now athe great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. And bgreat Babylon cwas remembered before God, dto give her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of His wrath.  
20 Then aevery island fled away, and the mountains were not found.  
21 And great hail from heaven fell upon men, each hailstone about the weight of a talent. Men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail, since that plague was exceedingly great.

What Does Revelation 16:19 Mean?



Revelation 16:17-19

These verses are actually the introduction to chapters 17 and 18, which feature the description of Babylon the Great. They also serve to introduce the term "great." "Great" has many applications, but in relation to Babylon, it implies power, wealth, authority, influence, and evil. This adjective should be kept in mind as part of virtually every aspect of its character.
